Hanks played memorable character in the episode he hosted last fall, and he ended up earning an Emmy nomination as a guest actor in a comedy (he recently lost out to Dave Chappelle, also for hosting "SNL").

"SNL" returns Sept. 30 for its 43rd season premiere, but Halloween is still six weeks away. Pumpkins could return in the premiere, but it's more likely that Hanks is filming a digital short for the Halloween episode.

Then again, Hanks could just be trolling fans. How David S. Pumpkins of him.
